A Tale of Two Cities: A Photo Journey of London and Kabul

Mr. Xiudong XIE was Xinhua News Agency photographer when stationed in Kabul in 2004 and in London from May 2006 to December 2008. During this period, he was also on many assignments chasing breaking news, summits, general elections and sporting events in Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Montenegro and Slovenia. Over the years, more than 7,000 of his photographs have been widely distributed worldwide by Xinhua News Agency. He shows some of his photographs in a visual journey of pain and joy, despair and hope in the battered land of Afghanistan as well as the diverse and multi-cultural aspects of Great Britain.
